COMBINED HOG-STOP AND CATTLE-PASS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 21, 1907.

Application filed August 30, 1906. Serial No. 332,717.

To ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DALTON K. VVILSON, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Gladbrook, Tania county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined HogStop and Cattle-Pass, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention. relates to improvements in a combined hog-stop and cattle-pass, and the object of my improvement is to provide a gate-way for cattle and horses to be inserted in a fence of inclosure whereby such animals may pass therethrough without difficulty from one field or building to another, at the same time preventing the passage of hogs therethrough in either direction. This object I have accomplished by the means which. are hereinafter described and claimed and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention, while Fig. 2 is a perspective elevation thereof.

Similar reference numerals refer to simila parts throughout the several views.

The ends of my device have vertical posts 0 sustaining horizontal cross-bars i, and either of these posts at each end may be connected to the adjoining part of the fence or other inclosure adjacent thereto.

a and 7c are horizontal sills arranged longitudinally along one side of the device and are attached to the outer sides of the lower parts of the posts 0, spaced apart and parallel to each other. I) and l are similar sills arranged along the other side of the device.

Ezitending transversely across the device with their ends attached to the upper surfaces ofthe lon itudinal timbers a and b are cross-bars g,wh1ch are provided on their tops with a plurality of short rounded studs for a purpose presently to be described.

Fastened to the inner side of the longitudinal timbers a and 7c are vertical blocks f whose tops are wedge-shaped and project a sufficient distance above the top of the timber a. The width of these blocks is greater at the top than at'tlle bottom. A similar row of blocks (1 are fastened to the inner side -of the longitudinal timbers b and Z opposite to the former row of blocks. Another similar row of blocks 0 are fastened to the outside of the timbers b andl opposite to the other projecting angles of the blocks d and fare turned inward toward each other.

This device is impracticable for the passage of a hog, for the reason that the animal Will crowd himself between the blocks (2 or f and between the cross-bars g, and pass the V device without hindrance. This device is especially useful, when used for the purposes heretofore mentioned, or on the other hand when placed between adjoining fields in which different breeds of hogs are quartered, to keep them apart.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A device of the character described, comprising in combination with an impounding inclosure, a longitudinal structure inserted therein, blocks attached to said structure and projecting thereabove, and crossbars fastened upon said structure between said blocks.

2. A device of the character described comprising in combination with an impounding inclosure, longitudinal structures spaced apart, and inserted therein, blocks attached tosaid structure and projecting thereabove, and cross-bars fastened transversely upon said structures between said blocks.

3. A device of the character described, comprising in combination with an impounding inclosure, a longitudinal structure inserted therein, cross-bars fastened transversely upon said structure and spaced apart, and a plurality of projecting studs upon said cross-bars.

4. A device of the character described, comprising in combination with an impounding inclosure, longitudinal structures inserted therein and spaced apart, cross-bars fastened transversely upon said structures and spaced apart, and a plurality of projecting studs upon said cross-bars.

5. A device of the character described, comprising in combination With an impounding inclosure, a longitudinal structure inserted therein, blocks attached to said structure and projecting thereabove, cross-bars fastened upon said structure between said blocks, and a plurality of studs upon said cross-bars.

6. A device of the character described,- comprising in combination With an impounding inclosure, longitudinal structures inserted therein and spaced apart, blocks attached to said structure and projecting thereabove, cross-bars fastened transversely upon said structures between said blocks, and a plu- 15 rality of projecting studs upon said cross- DALTON K. WILSON.
